PREFACE.
The outstanding features of the 1918 edition of the Canadian
Parliamentary Guide are the lists of the new Dominion (Union)
Government and of the newly elected House of Commons of
Canada, and the tables showing the result of the late Dominion
general election. I here have also been many important changes
in the Provincial administrations and legislatures since the last
issue of the Parliamentary Guide, a considerable proportion of
these resulting from the Dominion general election and the
changes in the Government of Canada.
In view of the peculiar interest attaching to the operation
of the . special laws under which the last general election was
held, it has been deemed advisable to include in this volume
the complete detailed official returns of the elections showing
the actual vote cast by classes — civil, military, women, etc.
This made it impracticable to publish the usual electoral records
of the various Constituencies since Confederation; but consider¬
ing the exceptional conditions under which this election was
held and the disturbance of party lines which has occurred,
there will not be the usual interest in comparing the results
of this particular election with those of preceding ones.
Owing to delay in the receipt of biographical data this volume
has been published much later than was originally intended;
but the delay could not be avoided. It will be noticed that the
latter half of this volume was in print much earlier than the
first part, and readers will do well to consult the dates of revision
given at the head of each section.
Owing to the greatly increased cost of production, it has been
found necessary to raise the price of this book (which has been
$2.00 since its establishment) to $3.00 a volume. Considering
that the original publication at Confederation consisted of some
240 pages of three by five inches, patrons will realize that the
increase in price is not unreasonable. __
£64276
On account of the exceptionally large number of additions
to the body of Canadian legislators since the issue of the last
edition of the Canadian Parliamentary Guide it is perhaps as well
to again point out that the biographical sketches which appear
in this book are intended to be severely plain and condensed
statement of fact, primarily compiled for the benefit of public
men, public officers, publicists and others interested m public
affairs and in the men administering them. To all of these, the
information contained in the Parliamentary Guide is of great
importance. It consequently should be absolutely accurate,
and accuracy can only be assured by the co-operation of those
whose names appear in these pages. It has been impossible to
obtain from a few new parliamentarians, doubtless through
oversight, the data from which to compile their biographical
sketches, and sooner than depend upon uncertain sources of
information a few sketches appearing in these pages have been
confined to information obtained from official records. I have no
hesitation in appealing to gentlemen who have so far omitted to
respond to the requests for data to supply the necessary in or-
mation before the issue of the next edition.
The compilers and editor will be pleased to have their
attention drawn at as early a date as possible to any inaccuracies,
or omissions, however slight, which may be noticed in this
volume.

PARLIAMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM
The King, as sovereign, exercises all powers of executive
government through a cabinet composed of certain sworn
privy councillors, who act as advisers of the Crown, and conduct
the public administration in accordance with law and constitu-
ional usage. The Crown is hereditary, but subject to such
limitations as may be imposed by Parliament — i.e., by the
Crown, the Lords and the Commons.
The Cabinet, or Committee of Ministers, in whom the executive
government of Great Britain and Ireland is practically, though
not nominally, vested, is selected with the approval of the
Crown, by a Premier or First Minister, who is the choice of the
Crown, the existence of the Cabinet, the members of which
belong to His Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council, being
dependent upon the possession of the confidence of a majority
in the House of Commons, the popular branch of Parliament.
The Parliament of the United Kingdom is composed of the
Crown, the Lords, and the Commons, this division into three
branches dating from the middle of the fourteenth century.
The House of Lords, the Magnum Concilium of ancient days,
consists of archbishops, bishops and peers, the latter divided into
dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts and barons. Three princes
of the Royal blood have also seats in the house. No peer can
take his seat if he be under age, of unsound mind, or bankrupt.
Scotland is represented by 16 peers, elected for each Parliament,
and Ireland by 28 representative peers elected for life. The
Speaker is the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, who is a
member of the Cabinet, and retires with a change of government.
The House of Lords has co-ordinate powers of legislation with the
House of Commons, except as respects taxation or money bills.
It cannot initiate or amend such bills, but it may reject them,
as a whole. The maximum duration of the British Parliament
is five years.
The House of Commons is the body where the chief political
power rests. It consists of 670 elected members. The last
Parliament (1st King George V) which was elected in January,
1910, was dissolved Nov. 28, 1910.
10
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
The House of Commons at dissolution was composed as fol¬
lows: — Liberals, 274; Labour and Socialist, 40; Nationalists,
82; Unionists, 274; Gov. maj. 122.
The present House of Commons (2nd Parlt. Geo. V.) as
elected December, 1910, was composed after the general election
as follows: — Ministerial — England 226; Wales, 27; Scotland,
61; Ireland, 84; Total, 398. Opposition — England, 239; Wales,
3; Scotland, 11; Ireland, 19; Total, 272.
On account of the war the term of the present parliament
has been extended.
The popular vote at the last general election stood, Govern¬
ment (Liberal), 2,623,133; Opposition, 2,358,430.
August 14, 1911, the House of Commons of the United King¬
dom by a vote of 241 to 128 passed a resolution appropriating
£252,000 for the payment of members’ salaries for the then
ensuing year. This action was taken pursuant to a resolution
passed August 10, providing for an annual salary of £400 for
each member of the House of Commons. This was a radical
departure from the principle of gratuitous public service which
hitherto prevailed in the Commons of the United Kingdom.

THE DOMINION OF CANADA.
The territories which now constitute the Dpminion of Canada
came under the British flag at various times, some by settlement
and others by conquest or cession. Nova Scotia (Acadia) was
discovered by the Cabots, in the service of King Henry VII, in
1497. That part of Canada now forming the Province of Quebec
was discovered by Jacques Cartier, in the service of King Francis
I of France, in 1534. The Colony of Halifax was founded in
14
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
1749. By the treaty of Utrecht (1713) Acadia, and the Hudson
Bay Territory (Hudson Bay was discovered by Henry Hudson
in 1610) were acknowledged to be British Territory. The
Hudson Bay Company’s charter, conferring right of government
over the territory now known as the Provinces of Manitoba.
Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the North-West Territories, was
granted in 1670. The old French Colony of Canada was sur¬
rendered by the capitulation of Montreal, signed September 8,
1760, and along with Prince Edward Island, and part of the
present Province of New Brunswick, formally ceded to Great
Britain by France under the Treaty of Paris, signed Feb. 10.
1763.
Vancouver Island was acknowledged to be British by the
Oregon Boundary Treaty of 1846, and British Columbia was
occupied in 1858.
As originally constituted, the Dominion of Canada was com¬
posed of the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and
New Brunswick. They were united under the provisions of an
Act of the Imperial Parliament (30 Victoria, Chapter III)
passed in 1867, and commonly cited as “The British North
America Act, 1867,” although its full official designation originally
was: — “An Act for the Union of Canada, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick, and the government thereof, and for purposes
connected therewith.” This Act received the Royal assent
March 29th, 1867, and came into effect by virtue of Royal
Proclamation July 1st, 1867. This Act expressly provides that
the Constitution of the Dominion shall be “similar in principle
to that of the United Kingdom” (1st clause), that the executive
authority shall be vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain and
Ireland, and carried on in her name by a Governor-General and
Council “to aid and advise in the government of Canada, to be
styled the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada.” (Clauses 9,
10 and 11). Provision was made in the Act for the admission
of British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, the North-West
Territories, and Newfoundland into the Dominion (Clause 146).
Newfoundland alone has not availed itself of such provision.
In 1869 the extensive region known under the various designations
of “Rupert’s Land,” “the Hudson Bay Territory,” and “the
North-West Territories,” was added to the Dominion by purchase
from the Hudson Bay Company. The Province of Manitoba
was set apart out of a portion of it (32-33 Victoria, Chap. 3), and
admitted into the Confederation July 15, 1870.
July 20, 1871, the Province of British Columbia, and July 1,
THE DOMINION OF CANADA
IS
1873, the Province of Prince Edward Island, respectively,
entered the Confederation.
June 25, 1886, the Royal assent was given to “An Act res¬
pecting the representation in the Parliament of Canada of
Territories which for the time being form part of the Dominion
of Canada, but are not included in any Province,” commonly
cited as “The British North America Act, 1886” (49-50 Victoria,
Chapter XXXV).
This Act provides that the Parliament of Canada may, from
time to time, make prosivions for the representation in the
Senate and House of Commons of Canada, or in either of them,
of any Territories which, for the time being, form part of the
Dominion of Canada, but are not included in any Province
thereof.
The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were formed
from the provisional districts of Alberta, Athabaska, Assiniboia
and Saskatchewan (4-5 Edward VII, Chap. 3 and 42), and
were admitted to the Union as Provinces on September 1st, 1905.
During the first session of the 12th Parliament a bill was passed
extending the areas of Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec north¬
ward by adding to those provinces portions of the North-West
Territory.
THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA.
The present Canadian system of government, which was
established under the British North America Act of 1867, is a
Federal Union, the first of the kind in the British Empire. It
comprises a general or central government controlling matters
essential to the development, the permanency and the unity
of the Dominion as a whole, and also a number of provincial
governments haviag the control and management of certain
clearly defined local matters naturally and conveniently falling
within their jurisdiction. These several governments are admin¬
istered in strict accordance with the principles of British parlia¬
mentary government.
The executive power of the Government of the Dominion of
Canada, as also the chief command of the military and naval
forces, is vested in the King, represented by the Governor-
General, appointed by the Crown (the British Government)
and advised by a Cabinet chosen from members of the King’s
Privy Council for Canada, and consisting of ministers holding
departmental offices, besides, often, one or more ministers with¬
out portfolios. The Government holds office as long as it has the
confidence of the popular branch of Parliament.
16
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
It is not necessary that all the members of the Cabinet be
members of the Senate or the House of Commons as long as the
Cabinet, as a whole, has the confidence of the popular branch
of Parliament.
According to the B.N.A. Act, 1867, Sec. 55, where a Bill passed
by the Houses of Parliament is presented to the Governor-
General for the Queen’s assent, he shall declare, according to his
discretion, but subject to the provisions of the mentioned Act
and to Her Majesty’s instruction, either that he assents thereto
in the Queen’s Name, or that he withholds the Queen’s assent,
or that he reserves the Bill for the signification of the Queen’s
pleasure.

ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Up to May 7, 1901, it was provided by Royal Letters Patent
that the “powers granted Hjs Excellency may in the case of his
death, incapacity or absence, be given to the Lieutenant-Governor
for the time being of Canada, or in his absence to such person
as Her Majesty might, by warrant, appoint to be Administrator,
or in the absence of such Lieutenant-Governor or Administrator
18
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
to the Senior Military Officer for the time being in command
of Her Majesty’s regular Forces in the Dominion.”
Upon the date mentioned a dormant commission passed under
the Royal Sign Manual and Signet appointing the Chief Justice
for the time being of the Supreme Court of Canada, or in the case
of the death, incapacity, removal or absence from Canada of the
Chief Justice, the Senior Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada,
to be Administrator of the Government of the Dominion in the
event of the death, incapacity, removal or absence of the Gover¬
nor-General.
The Royal Letters Patent of June IS, 1905, which provided
for the change in the designation of His Excellency’s office from
that of “Governor-General in and over the Dominion of Canada,”
to that of “Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and
over the Dominion of Canada,” contained the same provision
as to the Administrator as the dormant Commission, and that
instrument, being thus rendered superfluous, was withdrawn and
cancelled.
The Administrator is vested with all the powers and authorities
granted to the Governor-General by letters patent or otherwise.

THE SENATE OF CANADA.
According to the British North America Act, 1867, the Senate
as originally constituted was to consist of 72 members; 24 for the
Province of Ontario, 24 for Quebec and 24 for the Maritime Prov¬
inces (Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). Qualifications were
laid down as follows: — Must be a British subject; must be thirty
years of age; must be possessed of real property, free of all incum¬
brances, to the value of $4,000; must be a resident of the province
for which he is appointed. Senators are appointed by the Governor-
General in Council, and, subject to certain conditions, hold
their appointment for life. A Senator may by writing resign his
seat. His place becomes vacant (1) if for two consecutive sessions
of Parliament he fails to attend; (2) if he becomes a subject or
citizen of a foreign power; (3) if he becomes a bankrupt or de¬
faulter; (4) if he is attained of felony or convicted of felony or
crime; (5) if he ceases to be qualified in respect of property. The
Governor-General in Council appoints the Speaker of the Senate,
the Clerk and the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod. The
debates and proceedings of the Senate are governed by Rules and
Orders modelled to a considerable extent after those of the House
of Lords, and differing very considerably from those of the House
44
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
Commons. Thus honourable gentlemen rising to speak, address
themselves to the “Honourable Gentlemen,” composing the
House, and not to “Mr. Speaker,” as in the House of Commons.
Each of the Senators from Quebec is appointed to represent
one of 24 divisions corresponding with former electoral divisions
of the old Province of Lower Canada. Senators for other
provinces are not appointed for any designated divisions, but the
practice of assuming distinctive territorial designations prevails.
A popular practice of Senators who have formerly sat in the
House of Commons is to adopt as their designations the titles
of their former constituencies. Several are content to be desig¬
nated as “from the city or town in which they reside. Senators
must continue to reside in the province from which they are
appointed.
The first increase in the membership of the Senate took place
in 1871, when Manitoba and British Columbia, upon entering
the Confederation, were awarded tWo and three seats respectively.
In 1873 Prince Edward Island, upon entering Confederation,
was given four members, the representation of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick being reduced by two senators each. In 1882
Manitoba was given an additional member and in 1892 another.
In 1888 the North-West Territories were given two senators.
In 1904, in virtue of the Act 3 Edward VII, Chapter 42, the
representation of the North-West Territories was increased to
four. Upon the creation of the Provinces of Alberta and Saskat¬
chewan in 1905, each was allotted 4 seats in the Senate, or four
additional seats between them.
The Senate as constituted consisted of 87 members as fol¬
lows:— Ontario, 24; Quebec, 24; Nova Scotia, 10; New Brunswick,
10; Prince Edward Island, 4; British Columbia, 3; Manitoba, 4;
Saskatchewan, 4; Alberta, 4.
During the session of 1914 (3rd session XII Parliament) the
government introduced a measure providing for the increase
of representation in the Senate to 96. This measure provided
that the detail of representation should be as follows: — Ontario
by 24 senators; Quebec, by 24 senators; the Maritime Provinces
and Prince Edward Island, by 24 senators, 10 thereof representing
Nova Scotia, 10 thereof representing New Brunswick and 4
thereof representing Prince Edward Island; the western provinces
by 24 senators, 6 thereof representing Manitoba, 6 thereof
representing British Columbia, 6 thereof representing Saskat¬
chewan and Alberta.
This measure as amended by the Senate came into effect upon
the dissolution of the 12th (last) parliament.
THE SENATE

In accordance with 5th Edward VII, Chapter 43, an allowance
is made to each member of the Senate and House of Commons,
of $20 for each day’s attendance if the session does not extend
beyond thirty days, and if the session extends beyond that time
an allowance of $2,500 is made. For every day on which a
member does not attend a sitting of his House a deduction at
the rate of $15 per day is made.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA.
The blouse of Commons of Canada is elected by the people for
five years, unless sooner dissolved by the Governor-General.
Members require no property qualification, but they must be
of the age of 21, and British subjects, not disqualified by law.
The Speaker is chosen by the House at the opening sitting of the
first session of each parliament, and has a salary of $4,000 per
annum, besides his sessional indemnity, and the Deputy Speaker
one of $2,000. Each member receives an allowance of $2,500
for a session of over 30 days, with a deduction of $15 a day for
the days he does not attend. The recognized Leader of the
Opposition receives $7,000 a session in addition to his ordinary
sessional allowance.
The members are elected by constituencies, the electors of
which are supplied by franchises under the control of the several
provincial assemblies, an Act having been passed in the session
of 1898 to make the provincial voters’ lists, with some unimport¬
ant limitations, available for elections for the House of Commons.
From 1885 to 1898, the elections for the House of Commons
were held under a Dominion Franchise Act. The qualifications
for voting at the elections for the provincial assemblies vary in
the several provinces. Voting is in every case by ballot.
The number of members of the House of Commons is regulated
by the following clauses of the British North America Act,
1867;—

(1). Quebec shall have the fixed number of Sixty-five
members. :
(2). There shall be assigned to each of the other Provinces
such a number of members as will bear the same proportion to
the number of its population (ascertained at such Census) as the
number Sixty-five bears to the number of the population of
Quebec (so acertamed).
“(3). In the computation of the number of members for a
I rovince a fractional part not exceeding one-half ®f the whole
number requisite for entitling the Province to a member shall
be disregarded; but a fractional part exceeding one-half of that
number shall be equivalent to the whole number.
“(4). On any such readjustment the number of members for a
I rovince shall not be reduced unless the proportion which the
number of the population of the Province bore to the number of
the aggregate population of Canada at the then last preceeding
readjustment of the number of members for the Province is

twentieth part or upwards.
. “(5)- Such readjustment shall not take effect until the termina¬
tion of the then existing Parliament.

90 PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
In the 3rd Parliament (Jan. 2, 1874, to August 17, 1878), and
in the 4th Parliament (Aug. 17, 1878, to May 18, 1882) the
representation remained as at the dissolution of the 2nd Parlia¬
ment, viz. — Ontario, 88; Quebec, 65; Nova Scotia, 21; New
Brunswick, 16; Manitoba, 4; British Columbia, 6; Prince Edward
Island, 6. Total 206.
The representation in the 5th Parliament (May 16, 1882, to
Jan. 15, 1887) under the Representation Act of 1887, was increased
to 211, the Ontario representation being increased from 88 to
92 and that of Manitoba from 4 to 5.
In the 6th Parliament (Jan. 15, 1887, to Feb. 3, 1891), the
representation remained unchanged, except that in 1887 the
North-West Territories were granted representation with 4
members, thus making a total representation of 215.
During the 7th Parliament (Feb. 3, 1891, to April 24, 1896)
there was no change in the representation.
In the 8th Parliament (April 24, 1896, to Oct. 9, 1900), under
the Representation Act of 1892-3, the representation was as
follows: — Ontatio, 92; Quebec, 65; Nova Scotia, 20; New Bruns¬
wick, 14; Manitoba 7; British Columbia, 6; Price Edward

there was but one change in the representation, a seat being
added for the Yukon Territory (Chap. 37, 1902). This made
214 members, distributed as follows: Ontario, 86; Quebec, 65;
Nova Scotia, 18; New Brunswick, 13; Manitoba, 10; North-West
Territories, 10; British Columbia, 7; Prince Edward Island, 4;
the Yukon Territory, 1.
The House remained so constituted until the dissolution of
the 10th Parliament, September 17th, 1908.
During the first session of the Tenth Parliament of Canada
(1905) provision was made for the creation of the new provinces
of Saskatchewan and Alberta out of part of the North-West
Territories, and provision was made for the taking of a census of
population in the two new provinces, as also in Manitoba, in the
middle year of each decade commencing with 1906. The results
of the first quinquennial census made necessary, according to the
Saskatchewan and Alberta Acts, a readjustment of the repre¬
sentation of Saskatchewan and Alberta in the House of Commons,
and at the session of 1906-07 an amendment was passed to the
Representation Act (Chapter 5 of the Revised Statutes 1906)
Providing that the House of Commons shall consist of two
hundred and twenty-one (221) members, as follows: — Ontario, 86;
Quebec, 65; Saskatchewan, 10 (a gain of 4); British Columbia, 7;
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS 91
Alberta, 7 (a gain of 3); Prince Edward Island, 4; Yukon Terri¬
tory 1.
By a special clause embodied in this Act, it only took effect
upon the dissolution of the 10th Parliament.
During the session of 1914 (3rd sess. 12th Parlt.) a Redistri¬
bution Bill was passed, providing for an increase in the number
ot members ol the House of Commons to 234, divided among
the provinces as follows:— Ontatio, 82; Quebec, 65; Nova Scotia,
16; New Brunswick, 11; Manitoba, 15; British Columbia, 13-
Prince Edward Island, 3; Saskatchewan, 16; Alberta, 12; Yukon,
1 ; 1 otal 234. 4 he new Act came into effect with the dissolution
ot the last (12th) parliament.
The functions, powers and prerogatives of the Canadian
House of Commons approximately as closely as may be to those
possessed by the Lower House of the Parliament of the United
Kingdom. Bills for appropriating any part of the Public
Revenue, or for imposing any Tax or Impost, must originate in
the House of Commons. It is not lawful for the House of Com¬
mons to adopt or pass any Vote, Resolution, Address, or Bill
for the Appropriation of any Part of the Public Revenue, or of
any Tax or Impost, to any Purpose, that has not been first
recommended to the House by Message of the Governor-General
in the Session in which such Vote, Resolution, Address or Bill
is proposed.

From all over the continent, tourists come
year after year to enjoy our famous water
trips. Canadians should take advantage
of the wonderful opportunities that lie

Niagara to the Sea
Board one of our palatial steamers at Niagara or
Toronto — You will marvel at the ever-changing,
ever-glorious scenery of the 1000 Islands, through
which you pass on your way down the mighty
Old St. Lawrence. Near Montreal you will experience
the thrill of shooting the river Rapids. Then there’s
quaint old Quebec — cradle of New France. On you go
to Murray Bay and Tadousac, where the company has
up-to-date hotels. F'inally the grandeur of the Saguenay
— a river deep as the height of its tallest promontories,
Capes Trinity and Eternity — higher than Gibraltar.
This is the trip we call “Niagara to the Sea.”

HOUSE OF COMMONS ELECTIONS
I reclamation of Dissolution of the 12th Parliament, dated
October 4, 1917. Nomination, November 19, 1917. Polling
of civilian vote in Canada December 17, 1917. Writs (dated
October 31st, 1917) made returnable February 27, 1918.
The election for the 13th Parliament was held under “The
Dominion Elections Act,” and the “The Military Voters’ Act
r?!r’ an<? consequently under unprecedented conditions.
oiling took place, not only in Canada, but Overseas, and not
merely in. British territory, but in allied countries as well. Each
man serving in the Canadian Army and Navy was entitled to
vote and so were his immediate female relations of age. The
unusual period of four weeks which intervened between nom-
Twrm1011 an^ election day was attributable to the operation of the
Military Voters’ Act and the time required for polling overseas.
tY as usual, the voting was confined to one day, December
H’ jn eyePt 111 the Yukon, where voting took place Jan.
-8, 1918, and Nelson, Man., where the election (acclamation)
took place March 4th. Overseas it began within a week after
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
19S
nomination and continued up to the hour when the polls closed
in Canada. Contrary to customary practice, for a Federal
franchise operated in this election, Provincial lists were not
used. Returning officers selected enumerators to compile new
Dominion lists and, for the first time in a Dominion election,
these lists contained the names of women. Complete woman
suffrage was not granted, but the wives, mothers, widows and
sisters of soldiers were entitled to vote. Army nurses were also
accorded votes. _ ....
Naturalized aliens of enemy nationality whose citizenship was
secured since 1902 were debarred from the privilege of voting at
this election.
While the laws governing the election were exceptional so was
the political situation. Instead of the two historical political
parties confronting one another on familiar lines, in this case a
“Union” Government party including _ Liberal. “Unionists”
as well as Conservatives and Conservative “Unionists” faced
an opposition consisting of anti-Unionist Liberals.
Considering the unique conditions under which this particular
general election was held, it is difficult to compare intelligently
the results with those of preceding general elections. For this
reason, and considering it advisable to give in full the official
figures disclosing the various classes of votes cast for each candi¬
date, the customary electoral records of the several constitu¬
encies since Confederation are not given.
The returns in the following lists give the official figures. .
(G.) after the name signifies that the candidate was officially
endorsed by the Government (Unionist) leader; (O). that the
candidate was endorsed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, leader of the
Opposition; (Lab.) that the candidate was endorsed by the
Labour Party; and (S.D.) that the candidate was endorsed by
the Social Democratic party. It will be noticed that some
candidates ran without any formal party endorsation. I he bio¬
graphical sketches of members in preceding pages give the
political affiliations of all members of the House.

The vacancies are as follows: — -
1. Lennox, by the death of Thomas George Carscallen on the
15th day of March, 1917.
2. Manitoulin, by the death of Robert Roswell Gamey on the
19th day of March, 1917.
(Both deaths occurred while House in session.)
3. Oxford North, by the acceptance of office in the Union
Government of Canada, by Newton Wesley Rowell, in December,
1917.
Owing to important amendments made to the Voters’ Lists
Act in the session of 1917, whereby the Female Franchise was
adopted and to the date of vacancy and near approach of final
session of the Fourteenth Legislature, it was not considered
advisable to prepare new lists in order to have a bye-election
in the one constituency.

NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
At, and for many years after Confederation, New Brunswick
had a Legis. Council as well as a Legis. Assembly. April 16,
1891, an Act (54 Vic., Chap. IX) was passed abolishing the Legis.
Council and vesting all its powers in the Lieut.-Governor and
Assembly, thereafter designated the Legislative Assembly.
This Act came into force upon the dissolution of 1892. The
“Legislatures” are now officially counted from that date only,
the present being known as the “Fifth,” although, including the
sessions prior to 1892, it is really the 12th since Confederation.
Elected by popular vote — 48 members. Last g.e., February
24, 1917. Sessional indemnity, $500 and travelling expenses;
the Speaker $400 additional.

PROVINCE OF ALBERTA.
(Revised, March 11, 1918.)
With the Province of Saskatchewan formed from part of
the Northwest Territories by Act of Dominion Parliament,
1905 (first session, 10th Parliament). The two provinces are
divided by the meridian of 110° west from Greenwich. They
lie between British Columbia on the west, and Manitoba and
the Northwest Territories on the east, and between the Inter¬
national boundary at the 49th parallel on the south, and the
60th parallel on the north. From north to south each prov¬
ince extends 760 miles, or as long as from the mouth of the
Detroit River to the mouth of the Saguenay in a straight line.
The area of the two provinces is 504,190 square miles, which is as
large as the united areas of Great Britain, France and Germany,
as large as the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota
and the two Dakotas combined, and more than twice as large as
the six New England States, together with New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The provinces of the B.N.A.
Act. 1867, with its several amendments, apply to the new prov¬
inces. The public lands are retained by the Government of
Canada, and in place of these, as a source of revenue, the provinces
receive an annual sum based upon the population as from time
to time ascertained by the quinquennial census.

PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
The districts of Alberta, Assiniboia, Athabaska and Saskat-:
chewan formed from the southern part of the Northwest Ter¬
ritories, 1882.
In 1888 these districts were accorded local responsible govern-i
ment, and the old Northwest Council replaced by the Northwest
Legislature, which existed up to August 31, 1905.
Districts of Mackenzie, Ungava and Franklin created 1895.
The district of Keewatin, which had formerly been under thee
administration of the Lieut. -Governor of Manitoba, was, by)
Order-in-Council of July 24, 1905, re-annexed to the Northwest!
Territories and made subject to the same government and laws:
as the Territories.
September 1, 1905, Alberta and Saskatchewan, comprising
the more settled portions of the Northwest Territories, south!
of the 60th parallel, N. latitude, began their existence as separates
provinces.
Legislation passed during the 1911-1912 (1st session, 1 2thh
Parlt.) session of the Dominion Parliament, provided for thee
division of the district of Keewatin between the provinces oft
Ontario and Manitoba. By this legislation the territory oft
Manitoba was extended northerly to the 60th parallel of latitude,
which also forms the northern boundary of the provinces oft
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The eastern boundary of Manitoba^
was extended in a north-easterly direction to Hudson Bay:
The remaining southern part of Keewatin was added to Ontario.'
By the same Act the whole of the district of Ungava was added:
to the Province of Quebec.
The islands in James Bay, Hudson Bay, Hudson Straits and!
other northern waters were not included in the territory added!
to the province.
The Northwest Territories, as at present existing, consequentlyy
include these islands, many of them of large area, and the vastt
unorganized districts of Franklin and Mackenzie. According?
to the evidence heard before a select committee of the Senatee
during the session of 1906-07, immense areas of the districtss
of Keewatin and Mackenzie offer exceptional inducements to.)
capitalists, lumbermen, sportsmen, fishermen and prospectors.
See page 13, last para, of section “The Dominion of Canada.”’

was constituted in 1785 under “The Supreme and Exchequer'
Court Act” (38 Vic. Chap. 11).
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction as a High Court of Appeal 1
in both civil and criminal cases throughout the Dominion of
Canada. It is also a Court of Appeal for controverted election
cases, from the Exchequer Court, from the Board of Railway
Commissioners as provided in the Railway Act, and under the
Winding-up Act. It also has jurisdiction in controversies,
between the provinces and the Dominion. The Governof-in-
Council may refer to the Supreme Court for an opinion upon any
matter deemed advisable in the public interest. From the
decision of the Supreme Court an appeal lies to the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain by special
leave of the Judicial Committee in all cases except appeals
which come to the Supreme Court from the Exchequer Court
sitting as a Court of Admiralty. In the latter case alone there
is an appeal as of right.
The Supreme Court sits in Ottawa, where the judges reside
and where three sessions annually are held, beginning on the
third Tuesday in February, the first Tuesday in May and the
first Tuesday in October.

THE EXCHEQUER COURT OF CANADA
The Exchequer Court of Canada possesses exclusive original
jurisdiction in all cases in which demand is made or relief sought
against the Crown or any of its officers. It enforces the law
relating to revenue.
The Exchequer Court sits from time to time and in such places
as the business of the Court requires.
By the Dominion Act of 1891, 54 and 55 Vic., c. 29, Admiralty
jurisdiction was vested in the Exchequer Court (ss. 5 and 6),
and the judges were designated “Local Judges in Admiralty
of the Exchequer Court" (s.6); and other sections refer to the
Exchequer Court “on its Admiralty side.’’ By the Dominion
Act of 1895, c. 39, these judges are deemed “to be fudges of a
Superior Court.”
The Exchequer Court is also a Prize Court in time of War.
Judges of the Exchequer Court are entitled to the designation
“Honourable.” See “Table of Canadian Titles.”

PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
Under this committee of the Privy Council there was con¬
stituted, on the 29th of November, an Honorary Advisory
Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, composed of
eleven members representative of the scientific, technical and
industrial interests of Canada.
This Advisory Council, by direction of the Chairman of the
Committee of the Privy Council, has been charged with the
following duties:
“(a) To ascertain and tabulate the various agencies in Canada
which are now carrying on scientific and industrial research in
the universities and colleges, in the various laboratories of the
Government, in business organizations and industries, in scien¬
tific associations, or by private or associated investigators.
“(b) To note and schedule the lines of research or investigation
that are being pursued by each such agency, their facilities and
equipment therefor, the possibilities of extension and expansion,
and particularly to ascertain the scientific man power available
for research and the necessity of adding thereto.
“(c) To co-ordinate these agencies so as to prevent over¬
lapping of effort, to induce co-operation and team work, and to
bring up a community of interest, knowledge and mutual help¬
fulness between each other.
“(d) To make themselves acquainted with the problems of a
technical and scientific nature that are met with by our pro-
ductive and industrial interests, and to bring them into contact
with the proper research agencies for solving these problems,
and thus link up the resources of science with the labor and capital
employed in production so as to bring about the best possible
economic results.
“(e) To make a scientific study of our common unused re¬
sources, the waste and by-products of our farms, forests, fisheries
and industries, with a view to their utilization in new or subsi¬
diary processes of manufacture and thus contributing to the
wealth and employment of our people.
“(/) To study the ways and means by which the present
small number of competent and trained research men can be
added to from the students and graduates of science in our
universities and colleges, and to bring about in the common
interest a more complete co-operation between the industrial
and productive interests of the country and the teaching centres
and forces of science and research.
“(g) To inform and stimulate the public mind in regard to the
importance and utility of applying the results of scientific and in¬
dustrial research to the processes of production by means of

expansion.

TABLE OF PRECEDENCE FOR CANADA.
The official Table of Precedence is established and subject to
regulation by the Home Government, acting through the Right
Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies. The first
important amendment to the table was announced in despatches
from the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies
bearing date Nov. 3, 1879, which were published in the Statutes
of Canada of 1880 (43 Victoria, p. XXII). The last amendment
was announced in a despatch dated Downing Street, Dec. 29,
1893, and published in the Canada Gazette, Jan. 20, 1894. This
last amendment assigned, on the recommendation of the Domin-
ion Government, precedence to the Controllers of Customs and
Inland Revenue and the Lieutenant-Governors of the then
newly admitted provinces and the Northwest Territories.
During the administration of Sir Mackenzie Bowell some
suggestions for a further revision of the Table of Precedence
were made to the Colonial Office, but there was a change of
Government before the matter reached a final issue.
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE 537
It will be observed that no precedence has yet been assigned
to the Lieutenant-Governors of Alberta and Saskatchewan, to
the Commissioners of the Yukon and the Northwest Territories1,
to the Director of the Naval Service of Canada, or to the chief
Officers of the Militia who divide the functions of the former
General Officer Commanding. The positions of Controller of
Customs and Controller of Inland Revenue have ceased to exist.
The Consular representatives of foreign powers in Canada and
recognized heads of other than the episcopal churches have no
places in the table of precedence, but are recognized, nevertheless,
in actual practice. They are regularly invited to the official
Parliamentary functions by the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod, who is charged with the arrangements for such events, and
they have for several years been accorded defined places of entry
at the Vice- Regal drawing rooms. Upon the occasion of the first
Drawing Room held by Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught, November, 1911, the Consuls General
were specially received by 1 heir Royal Highnesses before they
proceeded to the reception chamber, and the precedent thus set
was followed in November, 1912.
Official rank and position, although conferring special official
precedence on_ the holder of the office, does not, any more in
Canada than in the Mother Country, do so upon the holder’s
wife and children. Thus the wives and children of Privy Coun¬
cillors, Senators, Judges, members of parliament, and officers
of state, as such, have no special precedence, except such as is
accorded to them (and it is always done) as a compliment.
Widows of Privy Councillors, Senators, Judges, or public officials,
have no claims to complimentary precedence as such, any claim
they might have had in that respect lapsing with the demise of
their husbands.
Section 46 of the Civil Service Act, 1908, provided that nothing
in the Act should curtail the privileges theretofore enjoyed by
officers of the Senate or of the House of Commons with respect
to rank and precedence.
The table of precedence is as follows: —
1. The Governor-General or Officers Administering the Govern¬
ment.
2. The Senior Officer Commanding His Majesty’s Troops
within the Dominion, if of the rank of a General, and the
'At the Vice-Regal Drawing Room at Ottawa, November 13, 1914, the
Commissioner of the Yukon was presented immediately after the puisne judges
of the Supreme Court of Canada.

■The following communication, addressed to His Excellency Earl Grey, is
interesting under this head :
Downing Street,
February 17th, 1911.
My Lord, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s
Despatch No. 3 of the 6th January, as to the interpretation of the phrase
"Archbishops and Bishops according to seniority" as used in the Official Table
of Precedence for Canada.
2. I am advised, as was the Marquess of Ripon in 1894, that the phrase
should be interpreted as signifying that Archbishops, as such, should take
precedence of Bishops as such; that Archbishops should rank inter se according
to date of appointment to the office of Archbishops, and that Bishops should
rank inter se according to date of consecration.

TITLES OF
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL
The style and titles of His Excellency the Duke of Devonshire,
Governor-General of Canada, are stated officially, in proclaim
ations, and similar formal documents, as follows: “His Excellency
the Right Honourable Victor Christian William, Duke of Devon¬
shire, Marquess of Hartington, Earl of Devonshire, Earl of
Burlington, Baron Cavendish of Hardwicke, Baron Cavendish
of Keighley; Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter-
Vlne °V^1S Majesty’s Privy Council; Knight Grand Cross of the
Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George; Knight
Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Governor-General
and Commander-in-Chief of the Dominion of Canada.”
IMPERIAL DISTINCTIONS.*
Imperial distinctions, such as peerages, baronetages, knight¬
hoods, etc., are conferred by the Crown as the fount of honour.
As a matter of fact they are generally conferred upon the recom¬
mendation of His Majesty’s constitutional advisers, although
many are personal marks of the Sovereign’s esteem. Honours
conferred upon Canadians are generally due to the recommendation
of the Governor-General, sometimes at the instance of his
constitutional advisers, and at other times as his own personal
wish. Honours for political and general services are customarily
announced on New Year’s Day and the Sovereign’s birthday,
although special occasions, such as a change of ministry, often
call forth special lists at other times. Titles confer no special
privileges upon the holders in Canada.
The following is as complete a list of Canadians** holding
Imperial titles and distinctions as it is possible to obtain.
*For Canadian members of Imperial Privy Council, see under that heading
**The term “Canadians” is here applied to those born in Canada or identified
with Canada by residence in the Dominion.

ATHOLSTAN, BARON, of Huntingdon in the Province of

1917. Was created a Knight Bachelor as Sir Hugh Graham
in 1910. Montreal.
1 The peerage is hereditary, new peers now being created by patents issued
by the Sovereign, as the fount of honour.
2 The ancient English dignity of Earl corresponds to the Latin Comes
(Companions of the Sovereign) and to the French Comte or Count. The word
Earl itself comes direct from the Saxon “Earldormen” (Eldermen, Honourable).
The title of an Earl’s wife is Countess. The eldest son of an earl bears by
courtesy one of his father's inferior titles. Each younger son is styled "Honour-
able”.and each daughter “Lady.”
3 Peers holding only Scotch or Irish titles do not sit of individual right
in the House of Lords, but only (if elected) as representative of their fellow
peers. Irish Representative Peers are elected for life; Scotch Representative
Peers for one Parliament only.
4 The dignity of Baron, till the reign of Richard II (1377-1309), was held
either by tenure of lands, under the feudal system, directly from the Crown,
or conditionally on certain services, such as advising the Sovereign in Council,
or attending him with a given number of Knights or men-at-arms in the field
Subsequently Barons were created by “Writ” or by “Patent.”
Barons of the Peerage of Ireland and Scotland have not, as such, seats in
the House of Lords, but several have seats there in virtue of election or of
other Imperial Titles.
Barons are styled, "The Right Hon. Lord . ”
and addressed as “My Lord.”
The children of Barons bear the title of courtesy, Honourable.

ORDERS OF KNIGHTHOOD.
Knighthood was originally confined to men of arms; Henry
VIII knighted sergeants-at-law and James I extended the order
generally. Alfred the Great is known to have knighted Athel-
stan, his nephew, and knights are reported to have been made in
England as early as the reputed era of King Arthur. Since the
days of the Stuarts the honour of knighthood has been conferred
in recognition of services rendered to the Crown in any capacity.
Wherever in the knightage the husband is styled “Sir,” the wife,
in conventional usage has the title “Lady” or “Dame” as in
the case of a Baroness; but in her case the honour is one of
courtesy and not of right. The orders of Knighthood of the
Garter, the Thistle and St. Patrick are regularly restricted to
nobles; but there have been two or three exceptions, for instance,
the case of the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.C.

(f) The rank of Knight Bachelor is more ancient than the Knightly Orders
°r *ratenuties anc* owes its origin to the Knights Banneret, who were created
under the royal standard on the field of battle, by the King or the Prince of
Wales.
When a Knight was created a “Banneret” the tip of his long pennon was
commanded to be cut off, so that it was converted into a four-square banner.
1 his explains the old name.
It is held by some authorities that the work “Bachelor” in this usage is a
corruption of bas chevalier” as implying a lower rank of Knights than those
who receive the honour on the field under the Royal Banner; but others con-
S1 ^ s .uld be interpreted as “lower than the knight proper.”
The designation of a Knight Bachelor is the simple prefix “Sir” and it is
permissible to add “Knight” or “Kt.” There is no decoration attached, no
limit to the numbers of members, and no officers.

ORDERS AND MINIATURES WITH EVENING DRESS.
A Colonial Office Circular, dated July 3, 1912, received by
His Excellency the administrator of the Government of Canada,
read as follows: — •
Circular. Downing Street,
3rd July, 1912.
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit to you for your infor¬
mation, Regulations issued from the Lord Chamberlain’s Office
defining the occasions when Orders, Miniature Decorations and
Medals are to be worn with Evening Dress.
2. I have received a ruling from the same source to the effect
that it is incorrect for a civilian to wear in miniature the insignia
of a Knight Grand Cross, Knight Grand Commander, Knight
Commander, or Commander of the Order of the Bath, Star of
India, Saint Michael and Saint George, Indian Empire and
Royal Victorian Order. The Regulations which exist with regard
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
573
to the wearing in miniature of insignia of the higher classes of
Orders are only applicable to naval and military officers.
3. I he new Regulations do not specially provide for the pro¬
cedure in the various Government Houses of the oversea posses¬
sions of the Crown, which are, of course, supposed to reflect
exactly the practice of His Majesty’s Court; but it will be well
that you should guide yourself by the practice laid down for
observing due courtesy in the case of Ambassadors and Ministers
accredited to the Court of St. James.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
L. HARCOURT.
The regulations enclosed with the circular were in the following
terms: —
The Officer Administering
the Government of Canada.
By His Majesty’s Commands the following regulations will
supersede those issued in May, defining the occasions when
Orders, Miniature Decorations and Medals are to be worn
with Evening Dress.
1. All the Parties and Dinners when any Member of the
Royal Family is present, Riband, Stars and Miniature Decor¬
ations and Medals will be worn.
2. At all Parties and Dinners given in the houses of Ambas¬
sadors and Ministers accredited to this Court, Ribands, Stars
and Miniature Decorations and Medals will be worn. The
Decoration of the Country concerned should be worn in prefer¬
ence to the English one, and if both are worn, the former should
take precedence of the latter.
For informal or private dinners at an Embassy or Legation,
when the Ambassador or Minister does not wish decorations to
be worn, the Ambassador or Minister will be asked to make a
notification to that effect on the invitation card.
3. On official occasions at the house of the Lord Lieutenant
of a County within his county, and at all parties and dinners
given by the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House and Guildhall,
Riband, Stars, and Miniature Decorations and Medals will be
worn.

5. At all Official Dinners and Receptions, including those of
the City Livery Companies and City Corporations, Regimental

in aid of Charitable Institutions, Stars, not Riband,* will be

POWERS IN CANADA.

OFFICIAL RULES re SPELLING.
The spelling in official documents in all branches of the public
service in the Dominion of Canada is regulated by a minute of
the Privy Council signed by the late Rt. Hon. Sir John A Mac¬
donald, dated May 30, 1890, and reading as follows:
The undersigned, to whom was referred a communication from
Doctor Hurlbert addressed to the Secretary on the subject of
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
577
the spelling of certain English words, and also a letter from the
Queen’s Printer in reference thereto, has the honour to report:
That in his opinion, the only question with respect to the
spelling of such words as “honour”, “favour,” “labour,” “honour¬
able,” and the like, is what is the mode now accepted by the best
authorities in England. It appears to him to be obvious that
the same system should obtain in all portions of the British
Empire.
On a reference to the best dictionaries and encyclopaedias
now in use in England, it will be seen that these words are spelt
with the “u,” and that such forms as “labor”, “favor,” “honor,”
“honorable,” etc.,, are apparently confined to the United States,
with the exception of some few instances where they have been
adopted in Canada.
In consequence of this reference, the undersigned has taken
occasion to inquire into the mode of spelling these words in
official and Legislative use in England, and he has ascerta'ined
that the “u” is in all such cases retained.
The undersigned therefore recommends the issue of instructions
to the effect that in all official documents, in the Canada Gazette,
and in the Dominion Statutes, the English practice be uniformly
followed.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A handbook of rules authorized for use at the Government
Printing Bureau practically regulates (under the above minute
of Council) the systems of spelling, contractions, capitalization,
punctuation, etc., in Government publications.
According to this book, the “Imperial Dictionary” is the
standard to be followed in all cases of orthography. When
there is a choice, preference is to be given to the spelling under
which the definition is found.
Foreign words, such as “ad valorem,” “aide-de-camp,” which
have become anglicized by constant use, incorporated into
English sentences, should not be italics.
Capital letters are to be avoided as much as possible, but to
be used in the following cases:
(1) All proper names, gentile nouns and adjectives derived
therefrom, and names of religions begin with capitals.
(2) Leading substantives in the titles of books and publications
must be capitalized.
(3) The first word of every direct quotation, example, precept
or question, should begin with a capital letter, and be preceded
by a punctuation mark, preferably by a comma. Quotations
578
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
introduced indirectly as by conjunction that, or examples
consisting of more words or phases, take a small letter.
(4) The word Department, Titles of Honour, etc., etc., are
capitalized as proper names when preceded or succeeded by name
of Department, as Department of Public Printing and Stationery,
His Majesty the King, Minister of Public Works.
(5) Names of streets, roads, etc., to be two words, with
initial capitals, as Sparks Street, Cartier Square.
(6) Act, when referring to Act of Parliament, is capitalized.
SPELLING IN ONTARIO SCHOOLS.
The standard of English spelling taught in the schools of
Ontario is briefly but amply explained by the following copy
of an Order-in-Council, approved by His Honour the Lieutenant-
Governor, the 14th day of January, A.D., 1900:
“Upon the recommendation of the Honourable the Minister
of Education, the Committee of Council advise that in order to
secure, as far as practicable, uniformity in spelling and pronunc¬
iation in our schools, the British system, as set forth in the
Imperial Dictionary, be that adopted for the text books to be
used in the schools of the Province of Ontario.
“Certified.
“(Signed) J. LONSDALE CAPREOL,
Clerk, Executive, Council.”
THE GEOGRAPHIC BOARD.
Questions concerning geographic names in Canada are decided
by the Geographic Board of Canada, created by Order-in-
Council dated Dec. 18, 1897, and reading as follows:
“His Excellency, by and with the advice of the Queen’s Privy
Council of Canada, is pleased to create a ‘Geographic Board’’
to consist of one member for each of the Departments of the
Geological Surveys, Railways and Canals, Post Office, and
Marine and Fisheries, such member being appointed by the
Minister of the Department; of the Surveyor-General of the
Dominion Lands, of such other members as may from time to
time be appointed by Order-in-Council, and an officer of the
Department of the Interior, designated by the Minister of the
Interior, who shall act as Secretary, of the Board, and to authorize
the Board to elect its chairman and to make such rules and
regulations for the transaction of its business as may be requisite.
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
579
“His Excellency is further pleased to order and direct that all
questions concerning geographic names in the Dominion which
arise in the departments of the public service shall be referred
to the Board, and that all departments shall accept and use in
their publications the names and orthography adopted by the
Board.”
This Order-in-Council was amended by another of date Dec.
14, 1899, which provided:
“That the Order-in-Council constituting the Board be amended
by giving to the Government of the North-West Territories and
to each Province the right to nominate one of their officials as a
member of the Board, who shall advise the Board with reference
to names in his Province, provided that the several Governments
undertake to be guided by the decisions of the Board/’
Later, Provincial representatives were appointed, the several
Provincial Governments undertaking to be guided by the de¬
cisions of the Board.
RULES OF NOMENCLATURE.
The following general rules of nomenclature have been laid
down by the Geographic Boards.
1. When the priority of a name has been established by
publication, particularly when such publication has occurred
in any standard or authoritative work or works, that name
should, if possible, be retained.
2. When names have been changed or corrupted, if not too
firmly established by local usage, or otherwise, the original
forms should be restored.
3. In cases where what was evidently originally the same
word appears with various spellings sanctioned by local usage
or otherwise, these various spellings when applied to different
features should be regarded as in effect different names, and,
as a rule, it is inadvisable to attempt to produce uniformity.
4. As a rule the first published name should be retained;
but where a choice is offered between two or mbre names for
the same place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that
which is most appropriate and euphonious should be adopted.
5. The possessive form should be avoided wherever it can be
done without destroying the euphony of the name or changing
its descriptive application. Where the possessive form is retained
the apostrophe should be dropped.
6. It is desirable to avoid the use of hyphens to connect parts
of Indian names.
580 PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
7 . Names consisting of more than one word may be connected
by hyphens or combined in one word, as may be advisable.
8. It is desired to avoid the use of the words city and town
as parts of names.
9. The form “canyon” may be used instead of “canon.”
10. The term “brook” is considered preferable to “creek”
for designating small streams, and will be adopted in cases
where the latter has not become too firmly fixed.
11*. The Board suggests that the initial letter of generic or
descriptive parts of geographic names, when used in reports or
other documents, should not be capitals.
12. The use of alternative names should be discontinued
where possible or not convenient.
13. Geographical names in foreign countries should be rendered
in the form adopted by that country, except where there are
English equivalents already fixed by usage.
14. French names in Canada are to be spelt according to
the rules of the French language.
15. I he spelling of native geographical names should represent
approximately the true sound of the words as pronounced in the
native tongue.
16. The Board adopts the rules of the Royal Geographical
Society for the orthography of geographical names, of which
the broad features are as follows:
(a) The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and the
consonants as in French.
(b) Every letter is pronounced, and no redundant letters
are introduced. When two vowels come together each
one is sounded, though the result when spoken quickly,
is sometimes scarcely to be distinguished from a single
sound, as in ai, au, ei.
(c) One accent is used, the acute, to denote the syllable on
which stress is laid. This is very important, as the
sounds on many names are entirely altered by the
misplacement of this “stress.”

Hon. and Rev. Henry John Cody, appointed Minister of
Education, May 23, 1918.
CODY, HON. AND REV. HENRY JOHN, Minister of
Education for the Province of Ontario, and rector of St. Paul’s
Church, Toronto. Born Embro, Ontario, December 6, 1868;
son of E. John Cody and Margaret L. Torrance. Ed. Galt
Collegiate Institute, University of Toronto (B.A., M.A. , LL.D.)
Queen’s University, LL.D.; University of Manitoba, D.D.
Dr. Cody, after a brilliant school and college career, took orders
in the Church of England and became rector of St. Paul’s Church,
Toronto. Has for over 21 years been an outstanding and widely
known clergyman of the Anglican Church in Canada, taking a
leading part in religious work of all kinds, and being appointed
a Canon of the Diocesan Cathedral and Archdeacon of York.
Highly esteemed for his friendly attitude toward all religious
denominations and his interest in various kinds of philanthropic
and charitable work. Dr. Cody’s influence has been increased
by his talents as a public speaker. Has addressed many audiences
and organizations on religious, moral and patriotic subjects
and his ability to co-operate with others has given him an envi¬
able place in the life of the community. Was early interested
in education, helping to found Ridley College, St. Catharines,
an establishment for boys, and Havergal College, Toronto, for
girls. Was for a time professor of systematic theology in Wyc-
liffe College. Served as member of the Royal Commission of
1905-6 to reorganize the University of Toronto, and was also
a member of the Commission on Unemployed 1914-1915. In
582
PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE
May, 1918, was offered and accepted the post of Minister of
Education, the announcement being made by the Prime Minister,
Sir William Hearst, in the following terms:
“I am glad to be able to announce that I have prevailed on the
Rev. H. J. Cody to accept the position of head of the Department
of Education. Everyone will recognize, I have no doubt, that
Dr. Cody is pre-eminently fitted, by reason of his training and
well known accomplishments, for the great and responsible
duties of Minister of Education. I do not believe that anything,
save the deep and earnest sense of public responsibility at this
critical time, which rests upon every man to do his best for the
State, as well as the unique opportunity now afforded for public
service, could have induced Dr. Cody to accept the leadership
of education in this Province.”
The announcement drew forth warm expressions of approval
from all quarters, and in reply to questions as to his reasons for
entering public life Dr. Cody said:
‘‘I am undertaking the responsibility primarily from the sense
of duty and from the feeling that in these strenuous days every¬
one is called upon to render all the public service he possibly
can. The Department of Education presents many of the most
interesting and fundamental problems in connection with the
making of the new Canada. I am going to start right in to make
a close study of the educational situation in Ontario. As a
general principle f think that educational machinery is a means
to an end and not an end in itself.”
Speaking of himself as an old teacher Dr. Cody said:
“We want teachers with enthusiasm and initiative, who will
feel the dignity and opportunity of their profession, and who
will make teaching their life work. There is no doubt that the
teacher exercises, perhaps, the most influence of anyone on the
child. The teachers are having an ever-increasing burden of
responsibility put upon them, and some parents expect them to
accept responsibility which should belong to the home.”
Dr. Cody is a member of the Board of Governors of the Uni¬
versity of Toronto. He was married in 1894 to Florence Louisa
Clarke, daughter of the late H. E. Clarke, M.P.P., for Toronto,
and has one son who has entered the medical service of the
Army and is going to the front. For the active and intelligent
interest displayed in war work, Dr. Cody was made an Hon.
Colonel in the Canadian Army. He is a member of several
clubs. Residence, 603 Jarvis Street, Toronto, and Morval
Lodge, Barrie.
